The Kamloops Blazers scored five unanswered goals over the final two periods in a 5-1 win over the Spokane Chiefs on Saturday night.

The Chiefs got the game's first goal 4:17 into the game. Markson Bechtold tipped home a shot from Jason Fram to make it 1-0.

The Blazers responded having a solid first period in which they allowed only three shots on goal.

In the second period, the Blazers thought they had tied the game up with Jesse Zaharichuk finishing a tremendous play. The referee waved it off and the play continued.

About three minutes later, the horn sounded and the referees got word from the video goal judge that the puck did go in. For Zaharichuk, it was his second goal of the season.

Garrett Pilon put the Blazers ahead as he took a pass from Zaharichuk and ripped home his fourth goal of the season.

The Blazers took the 2-1 lead into the final period.

In the third period, Gage Quinney gave the Blazers a 3-1 lead finishing off a rebound for his second goal in as many games for the Blazers.

Collin Shirley made it 4-1 scoring on an odd man rush, and Matt Revel added a goal with 15 seconds to make it a 5-1 final.

Gage Quinney earned the game's first star as he had a goal and two assists. He has 4 points in his first two games with the Blazers.

Connor Ingram was solid in goal making 19 saves in the win.

Both teams finished 0-for-1 on the power play.

The Blazers return home for five straight games between October 21st and November 3rd.
